For a Filipino, I do not like halo halo but Cafe 86's Upside Down Halo Halo is the only halo halo I will eat. Definitely try! Other faves from here are their Thai Tea Monster Milkshake, Ube Leche Flan Cupcake, Ube Tres Leches & Ube Truffle.

Absolutely loved this place! Their latte was delicious. The churrochi ice cream was also super good. The consistency of the mochi with the flavor of the churro was perfect. I want to try everything on the menu, will be back soon.

The upside down halo halo - it’s sweet and yummy! It’s a perfect dessert to share if you don’t want all the sweets for yourself.
Flan and ube cupcake - ok

The flan was way too firm and not smooth. I love flan, so wish it was better. Besides the flan, everything else was good. I’d skip the flan and ube cupcake and go for the upside down halo halo!

I was excited to try their halo-halo for awhile now and i was a bit disappointed to be honest. The taste was good but they don't have the ingredients that a typical halo2x usually have. Their halo2x only had red and green nata, 3 strips of jackfruits, alot of bobas and cornflakes. No red beans, white beans, bananas, gulaman, kaong..

Came in for an after dinner dessert. The parking at the place where this is located is pretty small so I can see that finding parking can get difficult at times. Once you enter, you can either order with the cashier or through a tablet on the right side wall.

The menu is surprisingly robust for most things having Ube. We got ube milk tea, milo milk tea, and Ube leche flan. Everything was good but nothing memorable.

What I liked:
- Ube!
- There were a lot of unique drinks on the menu.

What I didn't like:
- There's only one size for the drinks.
- The cost of substituting soy or almond milk is almost $2!
- The Ube leche flan was pretty dry; both the flan and the cupcake.

We'll probably come back again when we're in the area to try other things in the menu. The halo halo looks pretty good.

Not as welcoming of a staff. They don't open til 1230pm. Their Ube Mini wasn't as impressive. Maybe because I am comparing their Ube quality to Macs by Ickys off Smith St. Their Ube is not as divine as Macs by Ickys. It's quiet on the sweeter side at Cafe 86! They did have a alternative for non dairy options to put in your Ube mini or regular that was a plus! Their food menu was pretty good! More vegetarian options please!

Clean simple ambiance. Only open in afternoon. It would be nice place for breakfast.

Staff is very friendly and patient taking time to explain their very complicated drinks.

The ube treats in the display are all delicious but they are also very difficult to consume in the way that they are packaged and presented. They are dense and hard and the said packaging together with plastic flatware really ruins and frustrates the dishes.
It would be much more enjoyable to consume them if they were properly plated with proper flatware. Less waste too.

86 Café has captured a wide audience with its vibrant ambiance and diverse menu offerings. The café's popularity stems from its lively atmosphere, quick service, and the variety of Taiwanese-style beverages such as boba tea, which has become a trendy choice among younger demographics.
